MDC Extra
The most historic version at Egger
For this execution, we have analyzed the details of the historical originals in the museums in detail and are painstakingly following them up. We proceed from the basic material of hammered and gently reshaped Nuremberg sheet metal. In addition, a hand-engraved wreath, as well as exact replicas of the zwingenes and the knob based on the original casts.
In addition, however, there are some details that make the MDC Extra execution special. A inserted vocal arc, a triple train with an outer pull soldered from sheet metal, a hinge on the crossbars, and a flat body crossbar with hinge.
This creates a very unique handcrafting masterpiece entirely in the old tradition. We are in the fortunate position to offer this special version besides the Schnitzer tenor trombone shown here also for our Starck alto sackbut and the Hainlein tenor sackbut.

Tenor trombone
after Schnitzer
Model in Historic, in A 466 Hz key, with hinge, without tuning slide
After Anton Schnitzer the Elder, Nuremberg 1579
Original: Accademia Filarmonica, Verona
The sackbut of Anton Schnitzer the Elder is one of the oldest surviving trombones. It is of particular importance. The original is now in the Accademia Filarmonica in Verona and was studied in detail as part of Hannes Vereecke’s dissertation. In this context, Rainer Egger measured the acoustic and geometric properties and crafted an authentic replica. This includes the lavish ornamentation, which was accurately reproduced via castings of the bracing patterns. All these premises allow us to offer an utmost accurate copy of this significant instrument of trombone history today.
